Upcoming Action

 

Wednesday, September 22

Vermont at Massachusetts, 3:30 p.m.- Live Stats ; Live Video

The Catamounts will look to extend their unbeaten streak to six games when they travel to Amherst, Mass., for a match up with Massachusetts.

Vermont had a strong performance at the Colgate Raider Adidas Classic, as it tied both games. In their final game of the tournament, the Catamounts tied Lafayette 1-1 (2 OT). It was Vermont that grabbed the early lead, with freshman midfielder Malick Camara scoring the first goal of his career in the 15th minute. The lead held up until the 55th minute, when Blake Fink tied the game for the Leopards. Vermont had a chance to win the game late in regulation, but senior forward Kyle Luetkehans had his penalty kick attempt saved.

The Catamounts return to Centennial Field for the first time in two weeks when they host Brown on September 25.

Bryant at New Hampshire, 7 p.m.

UNH returns to the field for the first time in 10 days when it hosts Bryant at Bremner Field.

The Wildcats are coming off an excellent showing at the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Nike Fall Classic, where they went 1-0-1 in their two games. In the final game of the tournament, UNH won in thrilling fashion in its 2-1 (2OT) victory against Presbyterian. Sophomore forward Jordan Thomas opened the scoring in the 41st minute, netting his second goal of the season. The Blue Hose responded early in the second half, as Steven Glover tied the game in the 52nd minute. While it appeared the game was certain to end in a tie, junior midfielder Brad Hilton had other ideas, as his first goal of the season gave the Wildcats the win with only 16 seconds left in the second overtime.

Following the visit from Bryant, UNH will travel to Amherst, Mass., to face Massachusetts on September 25.

UMBC at Loyola (Md.), 7 p.m.- Live Stats ; Live Video ; Live Audio

The Retrieves continue their three-game road trip with a matchup against Loyola (Md.).

UMBC showed great resolve in its 3-2 victory over Mount St. Mary’s. The Retrievers appeared to be on the way to their third consecutive road loss, as they trailed 2-0 at the half. UMBC began its comeback early in the second half, as senior defender Chris Williams scored off a corner kick in the 53rd minute. In the 63rd minute, senior midfielder Levi Houapeu tied the game for UMBC, scoring the 25th goal of his career. Houapeu is only the 11th player in school history to amass 25 career goals. Freshman forward Pete Caringi III completed the comeback victory in the 78th minute, netting his fourth goal of the season.

In its final game before the start of conference play, UMBC travels to Teaneck, N.J., to face Fairleigh Dickinson on September 26.
